Could just be a bad oil pressure sensor. Mine was bad for a while. There is a test that you can do to see if it is the sensor.

Be careful though. You it is supposed to mean something way more serious.

Had one go bad before. Make sure oil is getting to the head if you drive it again before looking into the sensor issue.

Oil pressure switch cost $5 at the dealership. My mechanic tells me its a common failure item, so I changed mine and it fixed my oil light.
